I'm really not sure what to do about this - I'm sorry, but I haven't investigated it enough yet. I think the *real* fix would be a fix to makedepend, as you imply. I was hoping that somebody more expert than me could think of the obvious right way to go.
No, I agree it is a bad idea to patch FreeType to support buggy tools. That is why I offer this is a hack rather than a suggested change to FreeType.

Is it correct to say that you want us to add a fix to FreeType so that the buggy makedepend program doesn't fail? I don't basically object, but... What about newer versions of this program? It should accept something like -DFT_CHAR_BIT=8 I think. David? Shall I add this?
